memorable

Driving somewhere with C, realise we can hardy see in front of ourselves so I check if her lights are on. We cross a bridge, 3 lane traffic, can't pinpoint where dream was supposed to be. Lots of white figures are flying over us. At first I thought it was birds at 2nd looked they appeared to be planes and I was concerned we may get bombed.

Dream scene changes and I'm on a couch, with Candace in the middle of a swamp like area. There are animals, it feels dangerous but the only animal I really recall is a stag, although it was about the same size as a dog. 2 people were behind us and one threw a big bit of meat into the shallow water at our feet. The animals looked but wouldn't go for it. Behind the 2 men were talking about how this was a hierarchical act. After a while the stag looked at me then charged. I grabbed its antlersAnd pushed it away. It got submissive and bowed down. Then it went to the meat an offered ussome. Dreamscapechanges. Men behind us appeared Indian and we were offered some Indian food.

Mum was getting remarried and I had to go round and get her from church, people were waiting for her somewhere else (pub like building) but she had decided to wait at church. Strangely there didn't appear to be a groom. Post wedding everyone was watching Eastenders, which for some reason was very x-rated, more like watching porn. The characters
from the TV seemed to spill out on to the streets and the drama ensued, non pronographic drama but an acted argument between a woman and 2 men. The dreamscape did seem a little like London. I kept dreaming about drinking black currant and water (was thirsty upon waking). I got embarrassed/fed up at everyone watching this programme so went for a walk, was off to meet someone somewhere else, not sure who or where but a 7 eleven was en route so could buy more juice. Noticed my cousins watching TV outside at a bar, tv was outside high up on a wall and it was football that was on, relieved someone wasn't watching that crap Eastenders I stopped and had a juice there instead.


Had a dream I was waiting for CL to
finish work, In was waiting in a lobby with others who were waiting for their partners also. There was a big lift in the middle of the office that was shaped like a wine glass. I could see the whole team being debriefed on something but couldn't tell what exactly although I had an inclination some people were being paid off, but knew she was ok.


Off to Highland town on work course, I seem to recall it being Dingwall. AG from a support team at work (Melb) was driving, someone in the passenger seat I can't recall and a chap I used to work with in Glasgow, NM. We were having a work presentation, a few accu members were there. I can't recall the presentation now. It was memorable but I didn't write enough down at the time. After a break I went back in, the presenters had changed, looked more monster like and were talking about creating something that would drop Emeralds. Their faces had changed aggressive and to green. I remember smugly thinking the organiser VS would feel a bit stupid that we'd driven all this way for this!

NOTE: Prior to going to sleep I asked for my spirit guide to come into my dreams.
LUCID DREAM: Dreaming I was reading psychic experiences website on a story I had posted, reading a reply from a girl using the word y'all a lot. I read it in an American accent. Then I visualised being in a back garden of a country house, felt like in the US but that could have been related to the previous reading. Saw a head behind a chair trying to hide. I spoke to her, she got up and walked off. When she looked round and thought it was my girlfriends mum. Became lucid at this point! Asked if she knew I could do this, Lucid Dream and Astral Project thinking it was still my girlfriends mum - I thought we were potentially dream sharing, she turned and walked away. Then I remember asking for my spirit guide to visit me in a dream before sleeping. I asked if she was my spirit guide, she stopped in her tracks, turned round at that and looked at me, knowingly. If there is such a thing as a spirit guide I am sure this person was one of mine. In retrospect, she could have also been the person I sensed helping me out of my body on a previous DJ entry (dark hair grey and black striped top) although the energy felt a bit different.


After that was awake for a while, about an hour, 6-7am, put on a hemi sync and relaxed, following that I dipped in and out of lucid dreams all around the apartment.

Lucid: Had a girl stand at the side of the bed dressed in a brown leotard with a subtle stripe tell me she was healing me as I wasn't very well - I seemed to understand that it was to do with energy or could have been my frame of mind - symptomatically my I'm physically ok and was aware in dream that my waking body is showing no ailments. She had Auburn hair and gave me hug before leaving and whispering in my ear that she had a boyfriend.

was lying in bed, in what appeared to be the bedroom surrounded by old statues that looked Egyptian, the bedroom was now a shop closing down sale.
Then the scene changed (I am still in the same bed in the same room) a man in his 50s who said he was a neighbour, greying hair, moustache and glasses told me he was helping me clean the place with his wife, she came through and was a younger Asian woman in her 20s. She offered extra services, how Western stereotypically thought. I wandered through to their apartment. Into their bathroom because I could, although I still wouldn't say I was lucid here I had a sense that I was dreaming as I knew that there were no consequences of any actions....well not awake anyway.

Non Lucid, dream seemed to unfold like watching a 3D advert of girls and men offering services, was surreal but non lucid.


One final point, at one point in the night I 'think' I consciously projected out of my body. I remember rising quickly but then I off in a dream world.

Fell asleep on the couch about 9pm, woke up just over 6 hours later, 3:09am. No real recall of dreaming prior to this. Lay in bed for about half an hour, I had set my alarm to go off at 5:30am to try and get into the vibrational state but thought, what the hell.

Slipped into my first dream and became lucid almost immediately. Was in a room that had wooden walls, mahogany style, similar to a room you might expect in a castle or such. I was with my sister and a couple of others I can't reember and she was talking about how my late grandmother had been the first person to congratulate her on graduating on Facebook. At that point it struck me I was dreaming except I seemed to lose control instantly, I fell forward and sunk into the floor and started floating rapidly to the right hand, as if something was moving me. Quite scared I asked for protection from a higher being (having been trying my own experiments with Astral Projection), I asked to for a being of light or a higher being. My movement changed and I was floating upwards, turned around and facing a wall that was completely black (or just dark) except that it had loads of runic shapes glowing in bright blue. I felt like I had no control although part of me was 'going with it' to see what happened.

I was moved through the wall and the lights changed into a spiral shape, like that of a molecular structure and as I was zoomed in further the spiral became almost 'Matrix' like. I was sure I saw a binary type pattern although cannot be 100%. I was able to seize control of the dream at this point and wake myself up.

Following on from this I had about an hour or 2 of drifting in and out of the vibration state. I had many failed attempts at getting out of my body, I was able to 'move' my astral arms and legs but was unable to get out. I remember mentally asking for assistance and I could feel something or someone at my feet (this has happened previously) trying to pull me out. I was consciously putting up resistance though as I was in a very negative frame of mind and I'm cautious about exploring these states when in a negative mindset as 'like attracts like' I hear. In this state I have a few strange experiences which some people would put down to HA. I attempted to contact my deceased granparents by visualising them and asking for them, and although I didn't get a response, I heard a noise in my ear like a walkie talkie and the person on the other end was just too far away for me to make it out properly, there was a crackle and a muffle (again I am still viewing this from a skeptical stance and aware of the medical symptoms that cause hallucinations in these states). At one point I was sure I was levitating above my body but I can't say anything more than, the energy felt bad, not good like my last experience and a part of me didn't want to go 'out there'. At one point in the sequence after visualising my grandparents, although having no conscious feeling of leaving the body, I did visualise myself close to them and just felt like I was bathing in a warm energy of love.

After fighting the vibrations for about an hour and a half and experiencing these things on and off, either not able to get out of body, or having a gut feel that it wasn't a good time I managed to sleep and fell into a dream.

I was with my friend RS, who lives in Canada and he came across to visit with his 2 friends, a couple. We went out someplace, I only recall walking back and being offered drugs by everyone in the street on the walk home. The street which was supposed to be my home looked nothing like that. It was dark and had a lot of homeless looking people that were selling drugs.

We returned to the 1 bedroom unit (which although the street was different looked very similar) where all 4 of us were sharing the only bed (double). At one point my friend RS and I went outside, for a cigarette and he tried to explain why he hadn't been good at keeping in touch, I can't remember the details but it had something to do with my character. I became lucid after that and the dream changed, I visualised a female. A few things happened. The dream returns to his friends, the couple leaving and then my dream changes.

Non Lucid: I am in my grandparents house, mums mum and dad (still with us) and we were playing table tennis on their kitchen table, we put a net up on it. It was myself, mum, her partner and my grandparents were there. I felt it was close to Christmas and I had been on the phone to my girlfriend asking for her to come and join us for Christmas day as she was going to be on her own. I then noticed I had 2 iPhones and I figured that the other one belonged to the guy, RS's friend from the previous dream.

Finally, dreamscape changes and I am walking I receive a text message from my gf telling me that she met some Italian guy at a nightclub and she must have given the wrong impression as he had changed his plans to meet her in Singapore, he was meant to be going to Cambodia. I was jealous and a bit angry that she had went to a nightclub alone. I was walking to my car in the car park and noticed someone else in it, I opened the door, it was a French guy, I realised from the interior I had the wrong car, mine was right beside it and I aplogised and felt embarrased.

End of a strange night.

LUCID
Seemed to become Lucid a lot earlier on than normal on this night. I was in my home town, in a housing estate. I was having a conversation with my uncle, not sure what point I became Lucid. I asked him to tell me something that I couldn't know about my mum, so that I could try and verify this with her in real life. He told me 2 things, both of which were gone from memory upon waking, sadly. So I'm walking the streets after, enjoying the feeling of being lucid. I'm pretty bad for negatively thinking, "I might lose control of this soon" and then waking up because of that. However this lasted longer than normal and I was able to stop the dream 'fading out' by asking for clarity. The town, in retrospect, looked nothing like it does in real life. I saw a massive structure, that was arch shaped brick building, to me it looked like a Dwarven structure (too much Skyrim on the XBOX 360). I decided to fly over there and was able to fly with relatively good control. Again at some point I started to lose lucidity and was able to maintain by relaxing and commanding myself for "Clarity Now". I explored around the landscape for what seemed a lot longer than normal lucid dreams before losing consciousness. If only I could remember what I was told to ask my mum.

NON LUCID
I was at work, we were told we were having to move desks. I walked round to the new area. Instead of individual desks we were all sat round big tables like being back at school. I wanted to sit next to RP but wasn't sure if we were supposed to sit in our teams at work. Ended up at another table, with people I didn't know.

Next dream, my aunt is driving her car, a blue Punto (IRL she can't drive and has no car). Myself, my girlfriend, my friend Steve and my auntie's grand daughter Charlie are there. We make a stop at what is like a Walmart type place, but it has a casino to one side of it. We pop in to buy sweets for Charlie and I'm told not to get her anything with vegtables in it (?), for some reason I'd bought these sweets that looked like soft mints, but were green, fruity....and had vegetable pieces inside! Anyway, I decided to drive back and had real difficulty controlling the car, between people pulling out in front of me and road lanes changing from our flow of traffic to on coming traffic it was stressful. Also, whenver I had to turn the car it shook, and wobbled and a few times jumped in the air. I pulled out to overtake a car that pulled out in front of me and at that point my outside lane became the other side of the road's over taking lane so I pulled in quickly. The car wobbled and flew into the air, 10-15ft and landed witha crash in a ditch at the side of the road. We were all okay but I called my mum and she was going to come and get us. We were supposedly somewhere between Ed and Dd, but I recognised the small town in the Distance and realised we were just outside of Mthv. We then realise the car is okay and my friend Steve drives back, slowly and smugly is criticising my driving as he is driving slow. I think but don't point out that Steve driving slow is uncharacteristic.

Final dream, am at Silverstone for the F1, except it's more of a small road track in a country field. It's not that busy either, myself and friend KK get a trackside view but decide to walk round a but, we walk what seems about half the track, down a country path. Their are cyclists on the road, some kind of bike race is taking place first. I fear for the cyclists as the F1 cars start. At some point a car crashes into a group of them but nobody is hurt.

Reading William Buhlman's 'Adventures Beyond The Body' and followed his technique of waking up early, reading and going back to sleep.

So at 5:30am the first alarm went off, knowing myself well I set another for 6am. Right enough the first one I switched off without remembering. At 6am I sat up for a minute, got up and got a glass of water, went to the bathroom and read for 10 mins or so. Lay down to rest.

Went straight into a lucid dream where I was in my friends Golf Shop using the computer, where you can drive against the screen and it shows where your ball went. Dipped in and out of lucidity but it ended with me using a driver, that was shaped like an iron, had a black head and I hit it from a weird angle and the ball ricochet off the wall and through the ceiling panel. He looked a bit concerned but not overly fussed.

Then I woke up and felt the vibrations come over me, so I relaxed and said my affirmations. They didn't get as intense as they have done so I was concerned I wouldn't be able to get out. I tried the rope technique which didn't work as my astral mid/torso seemed to detatch but I was stuck at my head.

Next vibrations I visualised myself flying and I felt my 2nd body float out and rotate 180 degress so that I was face down hovering over the side of the bed (same position I was in flying visually). But I couldn't get control and get my feet down or move properly nor did I have any vision. This happened a couple of times, maybe 3 max.

Finally, the vibrations came over and mentally I asked for help, I asked for someone to help me get out of the body properly and at that point, I felt a tug from my feet and I was whisked out of my body and standing at the side of the bed. I still had no vision but walked a few steps from my body to where the door to the living room would be. I said, "Clarity now" and vision came. The living room looked a little different. Logistaically the same shape, but different furnishings, or seemingly different, emptier. My vision was still vague. I walked towards the front door and pressed my hand through. I got so excited that found myself awake in my physical body a few seconds later.

Very minor AP experience but my most memoreble to date.

This story is going to be a little disjointed I fear, as the dream and following states I was in are a little disjointed. I am posting this for anyone who has had a similar experience to discuss or to give advice, towards the end I've asked a couple of questions. It's important to note that this is my first out of body experience and was different to lucid dreams which I have a bit of experience with.

Also want to mention that I am still unsure where I stand on my belief of Astral Projection as I have as yet to find anything concrete in the Lucid Dream or other states that prove to me when awake that I had moved into a different reality space. However I will keep going with it.

This morning I had a lucid dream about 6am that I woke from, very simple lucid dream, I was on a soccer field alone and realised I was dreaming so I kicked the ball and mentally directed it into the top right hand corner of the goal. A friend arrived and distracted me and I lost lucidity (thanks for that Steve).

A short while after I woke up and could feel the vibrations, which anyone familiar with sleep paralysis will be aware of, sometimes they scare me, other times they don't, which means I am getting better as they used to all scare the hell out of me.

Having read Robert Monroe's 'Journey's out of the body' I decided to try and 'roll out'. I was able to move my 'astral' arms and reach over and touch the floor initially. After a while I was able to fully roll out and was in a 'press up position' on the floor. All the time knowing that my body was up on the bed. I concentrated and floated up to the ceiling, then I felt anxious and automatically moved back into my body. It felt similar to when you get a fright in a dream and are shot back into your body, except in slow motion, I calmly floated back into my body.

Now the trouble was, throughout this whole experience, I could not see anything. The floor and ceiling were where I perceieved them to be, but whenever I tried to open what I will call my 'astral eyes', my eyes started to open on my physical body, like it was waking my body up.

Question 1: Has anyone experienced such a thing and if so, how did you get around this? Any tips on how can I open my eyes and see what's around me when in this state?

Finally, now I am not sure if this occured before or after I managed to 'roll out' of my body', but I felt a presence, 2 or 3 other beings in the room that seemed to be involved in the vibration process I think and it felt like they were trying to assist me in getting out of my body. There was a being I perceived as female, dark hair wearing a gray and black striped top, that is all I recall, no facial features just her presence. A short time after they had appeared to have left, a I started to get a little scared during the vibrations and asked for her to return, which she did, and she said to me in what seemed a rather jocular tone, "I do this about 30 times a week!".

Now it did seem in good spirit and like she has something to do with my being in these other states, assuming when I am asleep and unaware what is going on, seeing as lucid dreaming accounts for about 0.001% of my total dreaming life.
